If you want to step up to 3 bass players, Spinal Tap when playing Big Bottom

1996 King Crimson had 2 drummers, 2 bassists, and 2 guitarists.

Do you remember these guys from the glory days of Mtv back when they played videos.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin.

 

[Seashore]

Hipster Assassins

also, old Swans

 

[Der Oberherr]

Extinction Level Event are an 'all-bass' band. Not my thing, but a good example of having more than one bass.

We are forgetting Spinal Tap.

 

[DankStar]

I'd count ELP with a bassist and a keyboardist playing bass-y notes

 

[ehdwuld]

A lot of country uses a tiktak bass on baritone guitar
does that count

Looking at you Dwight Yokam

We are forgetting Spinal Tap.

Cop Shoot Cop had a unique sound going with two harmonised basses (or lead and rhythm bass if you like.)

I love this record, but damn the coolest thing is that you know John Paul Jones was listening to The Jesus Lizard in the 90s to have made this record.
